In one of the biggest pro bets in history, poker tournament pros Ted Forrest and Mike (The Mouth) Matusow have made a huge wager that has Matusow on the hook for $2 million. The details of the bet mean that if Forrest weighs just 139 pounds by the 15th July then he will collect a whopping $2 million. Even if he doesn’t achieve his 139 pound weight by July 15th, he can still make himself a tidy $1 million as long as he can achieve 139 pounds by September 15th.

If he can’t get down to 139 pounds by either of the aforementioned dates, Forrest will have to give Full Tilt Poker pro Mike Matusow $150,000. Considering that it’s almost the middle of May and Forrest weighs in at a muscular 188 pounds, this will be a difficult bet for him to win. However, if the 5-time WSOP gold bracelet winner can learn how to lose weight like he learned how to play poker hands, he should be alright.

This isn’t the first weight loss the pair have made as during 2007 the boot was on the other foot and it was Matusow who had the weight to lose. The Mouth needed to drop from 241 pounds down to 181 pounds in one year to win $100,000. The Internet poker pro managed to lose an incredible 52 pounds before taking his girlfriend on a cruise.

Matusow wanted Forrest to take a payoff for $70,000 to put an end to the bet, but Forrest declined. Matusow ended up gaining 7 more pounds on the cruise, which left him 15 pounds over the limit with only nine days left to lose the weight. Incredibly, by some sort of miracle The Mouth actually managed to lose 15 pounds in just 9 days and naturally the wager of $100,000 was his for the taking. Matusow rarely ate and stayed in the Jacuzzi for most of the 9 days to lose the extra weight.

Of course if you just want to play Internet Poker, then you don’t have to lose anything. You can join in with some great games of PokerStars Rakeback or perhaps Absolute Poker. You don’t have to gamble with anything, just sit back and enjoy your games.
